Option in General Psychology

The General Psychology option is designed to prepare students for doctoral work in psychology and related fields and for careers in research at the masters’ level. The program combines coursework in basic areas of psychology with research skill objectives, such as critically analyzing research and conducting literature reviews. This coursework provides the basis for collaborative research with faculty members. The outstanding feature of this program is the opportunity for close interaction between faculty and students, both in the classroom and in the laboratory, because of the low student/faculty ratio.
